AI chatbot for business — cost and ROI in 2026
Real pricing for AI chatbots in 2026: from a simple FAQ bot to a RAG-powered sales agent. Costs, maintenance and ROI.
An AI chatbot is no longer a 2018 widget. Today's agent understands context, remembers the conversation, reaches into your CRM and closes deals.
Tiers: 1) FAQ bot (€1.5k–4k) — answers questions from the site, 2) RAG bot over your knowledge base (€4k–12k) — knows your docs, offers, contracts, 3) AI sales agent (€12k–40k) — qualifies leads, books meetings, runs follow-up.
Running costs: LLM tokens (typically €50–500 / month at normal traffic), vector DB hosting, response quality monitoring.
Measure KPIs: deflection rate, CSAT, lead conversion, handle time. Without metrics it's a toy; with metrics it's a savings machine.
We build chatbots integrated with WhatsApp, Messenger, web, email and phone (voice AI). One brain, many channels.
